QUOTE (EssR20 @ Apr 2 2011, 11:58 AM)  Yeah i live around Capalaba. What do you drive? Transit van omg, you could have endless amounts of fun with that.  I work out at Capalaba. I think I saw you near Redland Bay Road, your 180 looks good. I drive either my Transit (lol), an 80 series land cruiser, or my JZX100 Chaser to work. |

i dont understand why harry's owner doesn't get authorities involved in removing these guys from there?? like someone has already pointed out his neighbours are not happy either so they would be more than happy to join him in removing people from their parking lot but he hasn't done anything?? i dont see how it would make sense for him to shut down rather then get people moved and still open for business. it is a private parking lot so whatever they say will be what happens and they can get authorities to help with unwilling people. |

The pure dollar value that the night brings to his pocket is crazy. Of course the police "ejecting" the people that are leaving anyway is going to work real well. Skids are the easy blame target in this. It still cracks me up that the people that are bitching and moaning about it are those who love it. Talk about two faced... This, I will be there next week for the STL. You better be going Shane. |

When you are a tenant you are at the mercy of the landlord, he is not which is why he is considering closing on Thursday nights after easter. Whether he does or not is up to James, He is the business owner, He has been provided ALL the appropriate numbers to call so the ball is in his court so to speak. |

You go to the stains for skids, you go to harrys for the cars, simple really...... |

QUOTE (351clevocorty @ Apr 2 2011, 09:14 AM) Well then I guess you also won't care the fact that James is copping a lot of shit from unit owners in the complex. Talking to James last night, The XIT guy across the road is going to have security to stop people parking across the road, This guy also owns a couple of units in the same complex as harrys so he's also looking at having security block acess to those car parks. Then there's the builders down the back who are also complaining because apparently some of there staff have been unable to leave there own car park because cockheads can't be found to move or don't want to move their cars so as the staff members can get out. This is exactly the thing that most of you brain dead head f**s have NOT fully understood because you think that skids are the be all and end all. James is contemplating NOT opening on Thursdays now because the big picture is it starting to affect his business as a whole and he has you all to thank for that. Step back and think about what your actions are doing to this business. And for those that couldn't understand how this can affect a business, well here's a perfect example. 1. Who cops shit is not my problem. I don't think you read anything of my statement - as I said, I go there for a feed, look at cars and watch the numpties. I park in a normal park, I drive a stock car, I don't pull skids. You assume. 2. If he doesn't open up Thurs nights, only hurting his bottom line, not mine - I'll save cash by eating at home and not paying fuel costs. I maybe one person in this respect, but to honest, I don't HAVE to go there. I can get a hotdog, chips and a drink anywhere. 3. I never said "skids are the be all and end all". I think this rant by yourself puts you down as the "brain dead f**k". If you're crying foul so much, do something about it. I see alot of huffing and puffing but I see zero action. Every week there's people coming on here going on about skids and what not, but no one does anything about it. You talk the talk... |

QUOTE (DAL32 @ Apr 3 2011, 04:18 AM) I wonder if Milton Maccas is feeling the pinch of the lack of revenue that a full car park, full carparks across the road and up the side street brang in circa 2005-6? Somehow I think comparing a small personally owned business like harry's diner to a giant franchise like maccas, is like trying to compare apples to oranges. They are probably open later EVERY night, EVERYONE knows maccas, 11ty billion more people would buy from maccas. So no, they wouldn't be feeling the pinch compared to the small business that is harry's. I mean, I've never been to harry's any other night but I bet he'd have nearly just as many people buying shit on a thursday/friday night as he would the rest of the week combined. |

You have taken what I said the wrong way as it wasn't directed at you personally and yes I did read what you said, Maybe I shouldn't have used your post to reply but the intention was to use your post as an example of the type that DO go there for the atmosphere so to speak. My reference to the skids was directed at those that seem to think that they are the be all & end all, not directed at you. As for the brain dead f**k comment, again not directed at you. As for your comment 'crying foul do something about it', I could and those that know me know I could 'talk the talk' but as I said in another post, James has been provided with ALL the contact numbers, It's HIS business, It's up to HIM to do something about it if that's what he really wants to do. |

Which is what annoys me - all this talk of security camera's being put up, offenders being reported to the police, etc and not a single thing has been done. While I do know him personally and we've talked about how he doesn't want it to be ruined by these sorts of events, he hasn't done a thing about it. |

QUOTE (B Unit @ Apr 3 2011, 11:58 AM) Surely the Police would want to come and do something about the drinking in public, especially around something like this with lots of people and cars. With the probability that some of these dead shits could also be drink driving. I kinda of see it as a double edges sword. We never had an issue with alcohol in public. The issue is when people do it excessive and start acting like tools and being loud terry tuff cunts. But yes, to eradicate a problem you need one rule for all. |

I can agree with that, I just threw it in there because its the justification that people used for hanging out there, but as soon as the people left it generally looked like a dump people people littered everywhere. |

If a few were made example of Im pretty sure that everyone would soon get the idea not to skid there. |
